@Sophistifunk @lupyuen I heard of an idea where you burn energy for no good reason, and if you burn enough they give you an internet point. If you get enough internet points you can start trading them for different internet points. There’s a pay to play option where you can just buy internet points other people burned energy for and play the trading game. When everyone has caused enough damage to the environment you might be able to buy a pizza in Panama with points.

@Sophistifunk @lupyuen people are getting bored of that now, so they have a new game where you pay someone else to run the energy burning machines and in exchange they’ll steal your ideas munge then together with some other ideas, some of which are dumb, and sell them back to you. All with the implicit promise that you can make many people unemployed and undermine the economy that sustains all of this *as well* s as destroying the planet. Now *that* is properly dumb.

@lupyuen oh lol, guys from "trash future" podcast gonna be very happy about that 🤣

@lupyuen damn california really have a lot of loose seed capital. development of such a product up to 97% would never ever exceed 30 million bucks, even if you buy those fancy meeting boxes for the office 😀

I remember seeing vending machines that could cook a pizza on demand. I guess this is basically one of those vending machines on wheels. :ablobsmilehappy:
